1996 wrx speedo not working

Post by moltenz » Wed Jun 17, 2009 10:25 pm

hi guys, im new here, so plz move this thread if I post it in the wrong place, thanks. I come home after driving today for about 40 or so minutes and then went out a few hours later, and apon driving down the road I noticed my speedo is not working at all. Every now and then it will go up to 10km/h and then back to 0. Anyone had this problem before? :confused:

Thanks and kind regards, :)

Snapped speedo cable by the sounds of it. Occasionally where they break they will catch on the other half to flick the needle up a bit.
